Water evaporation plant cost
Water evaporation plant cost
(OP)
Hi
I would like to know how much it would cost to erect a water evap plant ($/tpd) - rough estimate. An approximate process description would be helpful.
Thanks

RE: Water evaporation plant cost
RO and flash evaporators are commonly used in this service but for large production rates, multiple flash is commonly used though energy costs is a major factor in the selection.
The only cost I have is for a smallish RO plant, don't think that is what you are looking for.

Chemical Engineering Progress in December 2002 had an article (page 32) on the economics of desalination and they had quite a bit of data on sizes of different units, capital and operating costs.
RE: Water evaporation plant cost
Could I please have the info on the "smallish" (by US standards) RO plant?
Thanks

4000 m3/day is $1.98 per m3
4546 m3/day is $1.29 per m3
There were 4 data points for 20,000 m3/day units: 0.64, 0.76, 1.22 and 0.58 $/m3 (quite a range). No information as to why one at 1.22 was that much higher.
These costs include direct capital, indirect capital (freight and insurance, construction overhead, owner's cost and contingency) and operating costs.
